1
00:00:02,741 --> 00:00:04,830
Recently, 12 new moons

2
00:00:04,874 --> 00:00:06,354
were discovered
orbiting Jupiter,

3
00:00:06,397 --> 00:00:09,444
bringing the total up to 79.

4
00:00:09,487 --> 00:00:11,837
As a middle child myself,
I'd like to extend

5
00:00:11,881 --> 00:00:14,971
my sympathies to moons
two through 78.

6
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:18,975
Your grandpa
will never learn your name.

7
00:00:21,108 --> 00:00:23,893
I'd like to thank you for
joining me on this journey

8
00:00:23,936 --> 00:00:26,113
[laughs]through the stars.

9
00:00:26,156 --> 00:00:27,549
If you enjoyed
this lecture,

10
00:00:27,592 --> 00:00:32,554
please come back Thursday
for the exact same one.

11
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:38,995
Do I look like I just woke up?

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,823
No.
Great. I'm gonna
go say hey to Raj.

13
00:00:43,086 --> 00:00:44,174
What were you guys
giggling about?

14
00:00:44,218 --> 00:00:45,828
They were passing
notes to each other.

15
00:00:45,871 --> 00:00:48,178
Oh-ho, love notes?

16
00:00:48,222 --> 00:00:49,353
If you love math.

17
00:00:50,485 --> 00:00:52,878
And we do.

18
00:00:52,922 --> 00:00:54,619
It's for our
super-asymmetry theory.

19
00:00:54,663 --> 00:00:55,968
Yeah, Amy and I have
been having so much fun

20
00:00:56,012 --> 00:00:57,796
collaborating together.

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,233
Well, you know what they
say, you never collaborate

22
00:00:59,276 --> 00:01:02,453
as much as your first
year of marriage.

23
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:04,673
Hey, great show.
Thanks.

24
00:01:04,716 --> 00:01:06,240
Oh, Howard, uh,
this is Andrea.

25
00:01:06,283 --> 00:01:08,155
She's the director
of the planetarium.Hi.

26
00:01:08,198 --> 00:01:10,026
Nice to meet you.
I'm Howard Wolowitz.

27
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:11,636
Engineer, husband, father...

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,029
[chuckles]
...astronaut.

29
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:15,292
Really? You're an astronaut?

30
00:01:15,336 --> 00:01:17,033
Well, I don't like to brag.

31
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,426
Hmm, yeah, but
somehow, you manage.

32
00:01:20,515 --> 00:01:22,691
Raj, you should have Howard
join you for one of your shows.

33
00:01:22,734 --> 00:01:24,736
Oh, that might be fun.

34
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,303
But-- it might be, but with
two small children at home

35
00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:28,784
and a full-time job,
I'm sure you're too busy.

36
00:01:28,827 --> 00:01:30,394
No, I could find the time.

37
00:01:30,438 --> 00:01:31,700
Well, you don't have
to decide right now.It's okay, I...

38
00:01:31,743 --> 00:01:33,571
He can't do it.

39
00:01:33,615 --> 00:01:35,573
Hey, hurry up, guys.

40
00:01:35,617 --> 00:01:36,966
The gift shop's closing,
and Amy said

41
00:01:37,009 --> 00:01:38,359
I can get one big thing
or two little things.

42
00:01:40,883 --> 00:01:44,582
♪ Our whole universe
was in a hot, dense state ♪

43
00:01:44,626 --> 00:01:47,716
♪ Then nearly 14 billion years
ago expansion started... Wait! ♪

44
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:49,544

45
00:01:49,587 --> 00:01:52,155

00:01:52,199 --> 00:01:54,549

47
00:01:54,592 --> 00:01:57,421

♪ Bang!♪

50
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:10,391
So I'm gonna place the sensory
isolation helmet on you

51
00:02:10,434 --> 00:02:11,870
for about five minutes.

52
00:02:11,914 --> 00:02:13,176
All you need to do

53
00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:14,743
is sit still and relax.

54
00:02:14,786 --> 00:02:16,962
What do I do if I start
to get claustrophobic?

55
00:02:17,006 --> 00:02:20,009
Oh, the helmet will sense that
and stop the experiment.

56
00:02:20,052 --> 00:02:21,750
Really?
No, but that would
be cool, wouldn't it?

57
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:26,798
Amy, are you busy?

58
00:02:26,842 --> 00:02:29,279
I've got a subject wired up
for a sensory study.

59
00:02:29,323 --> 00:02:31,238
So...

60
00:02:31,281 --> 00:02:33,501
Yes, I'm busy.

61
00:02:33,544 --> 00:02:34,980
Oh.

62
00:02:35,024 --> 00:02:36,330
I'm tracking a subject's
brain activity

63
00:02:36,373 --> 00:02:38,767
in real time as we
introduce olfactory stimuli.

64
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:40,943
I'm smelling baby powder.

65
00:02:40,986 --> 00:02:44,512
That's just my husband.

66
00:02:44,555 --> 00:02:47,167
Well, I had a thought about
our super-asymmetry theory.

67
00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:48,777
Let me show you this one thing.

68
00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:50,213
Well, I-I want to see it,

69
00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:51,649
but not when I'm in the middle
of an experiment.

70
00:02:51,693 --> 00:02:54,870
Still baby powder!

71
00:02:54,913 --> 00:02:57,916
Boy, he is annoying. Do any
of those buttons shock him?

72
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,007
Look, I'm really excited
about our paper, too,

73
00:03:02,051 --> 00:03:03,531
but I've got
a lot of my own work

74
00:03:03,574 --> 00:03:04,967
to catch up on,
so let's talk later.

75
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:07,926
Okay, I'll just say one
more thing: lambda calculus.

76
00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:09,885
And if that wets your whistle,
you know where to find me.

77
00:03:09,928 --> 00:03:12,104
Boop.

78
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:19,199
You okay? You seem distracted.

79
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:22,419
I'm-I'm just thinking about Raj.

80
00:03:22,463 --> 00:03:23,899
I'm thinking about
Chris Hemsworth. Let's go.

81
00:03:26,771 --> 00:03:29,774
He sort of hurt my feelings.

82
00:03:29,818 --> 00:03:33,343
[quietly]: Biceps, hammer, abs.
Still in it.

83
00:03:33,387 --> 00:03:36,912
Why wouldn't he want me to be
in his planetarium show?

84
00:03:36,955 --> 00:03:39,306
And it's gone.

85
00:03:39,349 --> 00:03:41,743
Sorry, it's just the director
of the planetarium thought

86
00:03:41,786 --> 00:03:43,919
it'd be fun for me to join Raj
for one of his shows,

87
00:03:43,962 --> 00:03:46,530
and he made it clear
that he didn't want me to.

88
00:03:46,574 --> 00:03:48,358
Of course he wouldn't
want you to.

89
00:03:48,402 --> 00:03:49,968
I mean, think about it.
If you were him,

90
00:03:50,012 --> 00:03:53,798
would you want to share the
stage with a sexy-ass astronaut?

91
00:03:53,842 --> 00:03:56,279
I don't know.
How sexy are we talking?

92
00:03:56,323 --> 00:04:01,284
Oh, you know, tight pants,
huge biceps, magic hammer.

93
00:04:01,328 --> 00:04:04,026
Wait, w-who are we talk...Shh, I'm back in it.

94
00:04:05,854 --> 00:04:07,290
SHELDON: [stammers]
The fundamental problem

95
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:09,466
with elementary quantum
mechanical formalism

96
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:11,076
is that the Fourier transform

97
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,644
extends to minus infinity
in time.

98
00:04:13,688 --> 00:04:16,256
Hey, don't dumb this down
for me.

99
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:19,694
Penny, I'm...

100
00:04:19,737 --> 00:04:20,825
Late for that thing. See you.

101
00:04:20,869 --> 00:04:21,652
Leonard!

102
00:04:21,696 --> 00:04:23,959
Oh, Sheldon.

103
00:04:24,002 --> 00:04:25,352
Didn't see you there. What's up?

104
00:04:25,395 --> 00:04:27,571
Well, uh, he was
excited to talk science

105
00:04:27,615 --> 00:04:29,051
with Amy,
but she was working late,

106
00:04:29,094 --> 00:04:31,183
so he decided to come over
and share it with me.

107
00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:34,317
With me, Leonard.

108
00:04:34,361 --> 00:04:36,319
With me.

109
00:04:36,363 --> 00:04:39,366
Sheldon,
we've talked about this.

110
00:04:39,409 --> 00:04:42,151
You can't go around
boring other people's wives.

111
00:04:42,194 --> 00:04:43,283
PENNY:
Yeah.

112
00:04:43,326 --> 00:04:45,981
I already got a man for that.

113
00:04:46,024 --> 00:04:48,679
Yeah, you do.
Yeah.

114
00:04:48,723 --> 00:04:49,854
It's just, I've
just been enjoying

115
00:04:49,898 --> 00:04:51,378
my collaboration with Amy,

116
00:04:51,421 --> 00:04:52,814
but ever since we got back
from our honeymoon,

117
00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:54,468
she has so little time.

118
00:04:54,511 --> 00:04:55,817
Well, she does have her own job.

119
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:57,688
Yeah, but it's so dull.

120
00:04:57,732 --> 00:04:59,864
Trying to understand
how the brain

121
00:04:59,908 --> 00:05:03,912
translates the five senses
into biochemical information.

122
00:05:03,955 --> 00:05:06,828
I'd rather wait in line
without my phone.

123
00:05:06,871 --> 00:05:10,005
Okay, well, Leonard's here now.
You can talk science with him.

124
00:05:10,048 --> 00:05:11,398
Where you going?

125
00:05:11,441 --> 00:05:12,790
Oh, that thing
you were late for.

126
00:05:12,834 --> 00:05:15,619
One of us should
really be there.

127
00:05:17,186 --> 00:05:19,536
Hey. Got a sec?

128
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:20,581
Sure. What's up?

129
00:05:20,624 --> 00:05:23,061
I just want to let
you know I get

130
00:05:23,105 --> 00:05:25,716
why you don't want me to be
a part of the planetarium show.

131
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,937
Oh, great.
Thanks for stopping by.

132
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:30,591
You don't want to talk
about the stars

133
00:05:30,634 --> 00:05:32,854
next to an actual astronaut.

134
00:05:32,897 --> 00:05:35,726
That would be like doing karaoke
with a rock star.

135
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:40,514
First of all, I've totally done
karaoke with a rock star.

136
00:05:40,557 --> 00:05:42,254
Or are you forgetting
when the Spin Doctors

137
00:05:42,298 --> 00:05:45,040
handed me the mic
at the Orange County Fair?

138
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:48,173
Listen, I understand
you being intimidated,

139
00:05:48,217 --> 00:05:50,785
but I can't help that I'm proud
of being an astronaut.

140
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:52,221
It's a big deal.

141
00:05:52,264 --> 00:05:54,397
Oh, it certainly is,
but I also happen to be

142
00:05:54,441 --> 00:05:56,704
very accomplished in my field.

143
00:05:56,747 --> 00:05:58,358
Great. So you have no reason

144
00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:00,751
to be scared
of sharing the spotlight.

145
00:06:00,795 --> 00:06:04,364
Please. I may be scared
of heights and spiders

146
00:06:04,407 --> 00:06:05,887
and showing up
at a costume party

147
00:06:05,930 --> 00:06:07,715
that turns out
to be a regular party,

148
00:06:07,758 --> 00:06:11,632
but I am not scared of sharing
the spotlight with you!

149
00:06:18,595 --> 00:06:20,380
What's happening?

150
00:06:20,423 --> 00:06:22,382
I just stormed out
for dramatic effect.

151
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:25,210
I... Actually, I-I don't have
anywhere to go.

152
00:06:28,126 --> 00:06:30,825
President Siebert, how much
do you know about physics?

153
00:06:30,868 --> 00:06:32,304
I'm a physicist.

154
00:06:34,655 --> 00:06:36,657
Huh. I would not
have guessed that.

155
00:06:38,354 --> 00:06:39,877
I have a doctorate
from Indiana University.

156
00:06:39,921 --> 00:06:41,096
Oh, that makes more sense.

157
00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:42,837
Well, don't worry, I'll go slow.

158
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,100
Thank you.

159
00:06:45,143 --> 00:06:48,233
Dr. Fowler and I have
been working on

160
00:06:48,277 --> 00:06:50,235
a theory of super-asymmetry

161
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,369
that could reconcile the lack
of observation of supersymmetry

162
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,110
in a world still governed
by string theory.

163
00:06:55,153 --> 00:06:59,462
Interesting. So you're taking
the paradigms of supersymmetry,

164
00:06:59,506 --> 00:07:03,466
but removing the limitations
of obeying the Poincaré algebra.

165
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:05,468
Well, aren't you just
the pride of Bloomington?

166
00:07:05,512 --> 00:07:07,992
What do you want, Sheldon?

167
00:07:08,036 --> 00:07:09,690
Dr. Fowler has
found herself distracted

168
00:07:09,733 --> 00:07:11,692
by the commitments
in her own lab.

169
00:07:11,735 --> 00:07:13,476
It would be a great help
to both of us

170
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,000
if you could free her up
from her other projects.

171
00:07:16,044 --> 00:07:19,221
I'm confused.Yeah, well, there's
that Indiana.

172
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:22,137
This is physics research.
Dr. Fowler's a neuroscientist.

173
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:23,530
Y-Yes,

174
00:07:23,573 --> 00:07:25,270
but her insights
into the very ways

175
00:07:25,314 --> 00:07:28,360
we conceptualize symmetry and
asymmetry have been invaluable.

176
00:07:28,404 --> 00:07:29,884
Dr. Cooper...L-Look, I know

177
00:07:29,927 --> 00:07:31,363
what you're thinking,
that "they're newlyweds,

178
00:07:31,407 --> 00:07:33,235
how are they gonna keep
their hands off of each other?"

179
00:07:33,278 --> 00:07:36,543
Let me assure you, we will not
engage in workplace coitus.

180
00:07:37,892 --> 00:07:39,502
Okay, if I won't
put a bagel on my desk,

181
00:07:39,546 --> 00:07:42,679
I'm certainly not putting
Amy's bare bottom.

182
00:07:42,723 --> 00:07:46,683
I-I must say,
I do not enjoy our talks.

183
00:07:51,514 --> 00:07:54,386
Dr. Park, may I help you?

184
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,345
Actually, yes, do you have any
better notes on this project?

185
00:07:56,388 --> 00:07:58,478
I'm having a hard time
reading your handwriting.

186
00:07:58,521 --> 00:08:00,088
Oh, uh, allow me
to rephrase that.

187
00:08:00,131 --> 00:08:02,569
What the hell
are you doing in my lab?

188
00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:05,963
I'm sorry, I was reassigned
to this project.

189
00:08:06,007 --> 00:08:07,008
I was told you were taking

190
00:08:07,051 --> 00:08:08,009
a temporary sabbatical

191
00:08:08,052 --> 00:08:09,097
to focus on other work.

192
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:11,012
N-No, that-that's crazy.

193
00:08:11,055 --> 00:08:12,535
This is my research.

194
00:08:12,579 --> 00:08:15,799
Oh, Amy, there you are.No, not...

195
00:08:15,843 --> 00:08:18,889
Not now, Sheldon, I'm dealing
with an epic screwup,

196
00:08:18,933 --> 00:08:19,760
and when I find out
who's responsible,

197
00:08:19,803 --> 00:08:21,109
they're gonna get an earful.

198
00:08:21,152 --> 00:08:22,502
All right, well,
when you're done, let me know,

199
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:23,938
I've got some exciting news.

200
00:08:23,981 --> 00:08:25,766
I'm sorry, I'm confused.
President Siebert said

201
00:08:25,809 --> 00:08:27,811
you were focusing on
some important physics work

202
00:08:27,855 --> 00:08:30,031
and I should take over
your lab in the interim.

203
00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:31,815
Uh, hey, that was
my exciting news.

204
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:34,514
All right, I'm gonna
tell you again.

205
00:08:34,557 --> 00:08:35,384
Pretend you haven't heard it.

206
00:08:41,956 --> 00:08:43,958
You got me removed
from my own project?

207
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:45,263
Yeah, and it wasn't easy.

208
00:08:45,307 --> 00:08:47,091
Apparently, you're very
difficult to replace.

209
00:08:47,135 --> 00:08:49,311
Hey, just between you and me,

210
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:52,444
they consider Dr. Park
quite the step down.

211
00:08:55,796 --> 00:08:59,277
I was trying to pick my moment
to leave. This seems like it.

212
00:08:59,321 --> 00:09:02,498
Wow. Banker's hours.

213
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:05,370
No wonder you're not
on the tenure track.

214
00:09:05,414 --> 00:09:07,895
Sheldon, you had no right.

215
00:09:07,938 --> 00:09:09,636
What-- I thought you said
you were spread too thin.

216
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,072
You said that you wished
you had more time to focus

217
00:09:11,115 --> 00:09:13,204
on our research.
I thought I was helping.

218
00:09:13,248 --> 00:09:14,379
Well, you're not.

219
00:09:14,423 --> 00:09:16,904
I mean, I have years
invested in this work,

220
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:19,559
and now someone's gonna
come in and take it over?

221
00:09:19,602 --> 00:09:21,473
I mean, how would you feel
if I let Leonard take over

222
00:09:21,517 --> 00:09:22,953
your super-asymmetry project?

223
00:09:22,997 --> 00:09:24,215
[laughs]
That's funny.

224
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,959
Oh, he'd be like a puppy
with a microscope. [laughs]

225
00:09:30,526 --> 00:09:32,223
[chuckles]

226
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:36,576
If I had a nickel for every time
a charity sent me a nickel.

227
00:09:39,187 --> 00:09:41,624
Really? That's gonna be
our whole life, huh?

228
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,497
If my father's any guide,
around 50,

229
00:09:45,541 --> 00:09:48,065
I start to lose my hearing
and get two new jokes.

230
00:09:48,109 --> 00:09:49,066
[knock on door]

231
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:51,721
Hey.
Hey.

232
00:09:51,765 --> 00:09:53,375
I brought Chinese.

233
00:09:53,418 --> 00:09:55,682
Oh, that's a nice surprise.
What's the occasion?

234
00:09:55,725 --> 00:09:58,380
Please, I don't need a reason
to bring food to my friends.

235
00:09:58,423 --> 00:09:59,860
But you have one, don't you?

236
00:09:59,903 --> 00:10:01,644
Yeah, I need your help.

237
00:10:01,688 --> 00:10:03,820
All right, lay it on us.

238
00:10:03,864 --> 00:10:06,257
So, I folded,

239
00:10:06,301 --> 00:10:07,737
and I told Howard
he could be a part

240
00:10:07,781 --> 00:10:09,434
of my planetarium show.

241
00:10:09,478 --> 00:10:10,653
And now I'm worried
he's just gonna

242
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:12,612
make the whole thing
about himself.

243
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:14,048
So just tell him
you changed your mind

244
00:10:14,091 --> 00:10:15,527
and you don't
want him to do it.

245
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:16,877
No, no, then he's gonna think
I'm too insecure

246
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,834
to share the spotlight with him.

247
00:10:17,878 --> 00:10:19,531
And he'd be right.

248
00:10:19,575 --> 00:10:21,664
I came here
for your support.

249
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:23,187
Well, then, you just walked up

250
00:10:23,231 --> 00:10:24,580
three flights of stairs
for nothing.

251
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:26,887
Wait, don't you mean
four flights?

252
00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:28,323
No, it's actually three.

253
00:10:28,366 --> 00:10:30,455
But we're on the fourth floor.

254
00:10:30,499 --> 00:10:31,848
I mean, you have the lobby,
first floor,

255
00:10:31,892 --> 00:10:32,936
second, third, fourth.

256
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:34,372
The lobby's the first floor,

257
00:10:34,416 --> 00:10:35,765
so lobby, second, third, fourth.

258
00:10:35,809 --> 00:10:37,506
That does not seem right.

259
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:39,813
Hello...

260
00:10:39,856 --> 00:10:43,077
Sorry, Raj, who cares if
Howard tries to steal the show?

261
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,382
All right? You're great
at what you do.

262
00:10:44,426 --> 00:10:46,123
Just be the bigger man.

263
00:10:46,167 --> 00:10:47,690
And if it makes you feel better,
Penny and I will come

264
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,431
so you'll have a couple of
friendly faces in the audience.

265
00:10:49,474 --> 00:10:50,998
Thank you.
That would be nice.

266
00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:52,521
Can you just...
Sorry, give me a minute?

267
00:11:00,877 --> 00:11:03,271
Hey, Raj, if I had a nickel
for every time

268
00:11:03,314 --> 00:11:05,316
a charity sent me a nickel...

269
00:11:07,014 --> 00:11:08,624
That's hilarious!

270
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:09,843
I know.

271
00:11:13,585 --> 00:11:15,718
[exhales]

272
00:11:15,762 --> 00:11:16,850
It's three, right?

273
00:11:16,893 --> 00:11:19,635
Just shut up.

274
00:11:21,158 --> 00:11:22,856
Oh, good,
we caught you.

275
00:11:22,899 --> 00:11:25,510
Yes, good.

276
00:11:25,554 --> 00:11:27,948
You had no right
to reassign my project.

277
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:29,253
Yeah, no right at all.

278
00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:30,733
Dr. Fowler,
I don't understand.

279
00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:32,735
Dr. Cooper assured me
this is what you wanted.

280
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:34,563
Oh-oh! Can you
believe this guy?

281
00:11:34,606 --> 00:11:35,956
Oh, sure,

282
00:11:35,999 --> 00:11:38,393
so a couple of men get together
behind closed doors

283
00:11:38,436 --> 00:11:40,221
to decide the fate
of a woman's career.

284
00:11:40,264 --> 00:11:41,439
I thought we'd
moved past this.

285
00:11:41,483 --> 00:11:44,094
Sheldon, this is
your fault.

286
00:11:44,138 --> 00:11:45,574
Ooh, sounds like
the old lady's

287
00:11:45,617 --> 00:11:46,880
putting me in the
doghouse tonight.

288
00:11:46,923 --> 00:11:49,012
Dr. Fowler,

289
00:11:49,056 --> 00:11:50,492
you are very important
to this university

290
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:52,624
and I would like
to sincerely apologize.

291
00:11:52,668 --> 00:11:54,757
So I can have
my project back?

292
00:11:54,801 --> 00:11:56,367
I'm afraid it's
not that simple.
Why not?

293
00:11:56,411 --> 00:11:58,456
Well, in order
to free up personnel...

294
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:01,851
Hey, hey, don't go
mansplaining things to her.

295
00:12:01,895 --> 00:12:03,940
I don't think that's
what he was doing.

296
00:12:03,984 --> 00:12:05,507
Oh, then perhaps
you don't understand.

297
00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:07,291
See, mansplaining is when
a man explains things

298
00:12:07,335 --> 00:12:08,466
to a woman like
she's stupid.

299
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:13,167
Boop.

300
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:16,648
So when was the last time

301
00:12:16,692 --> 00:12:18,781
you saw Howard in his
astronaut uniform?

302
00:12:18,825 --> 00:12:20,783
About a week ago.

303
00:12:20,827 --> 00:12:22,045
Really? What was
the occasion?

304
00:12:22,089 --> 00:12:23,568
Date night.

305
00:12:25,179 --> 00:12:26,441
We do a little role-playing.

306
00:12:26,484 --> 00:12:28,443
What role
do you play?

307
00:12:28,486 --> 00:12:32,534
[Russian accent]:
I am Ykatarina Nazdorovya,

308
00:12:32,577 --> 00:12:35,232
lonely Russian cosmonaut
who is expert at physics

309
00:12:35,276 --> 00:12:37,191
and making love.

310
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:43,023
Okay, that just made
the next hour really weird.

311
00:12:45,677 --> 00:12:48,506
Good evening,
I am Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali,

312
00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:51,422
and usually I take you on a trip
through the stars,

313
00:12:51,466 --> 00:12:53,381
but tonight,
we'll begin our journey

314
00:12:53,424 --> 00:12:56,558
much closer to home, 220 miles

315
00:12:56,601 --> 00:12:59,648
straight up to
the International Space Station,

316
00:12:59,691 --> 00:13:03,043
which is manned by a team
of brave men and women.

317
00:13:03,086 --> 00:13:05,219
[Russian accent]:
Flexible men and women.

318
00:13:05,262 --> 00:13:07,264
Switch with me.

319
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:10,006
KOOTHRAPPALI:
And we are fortunate

320
00:13:10,050 --> 00:13:13,444
to have one of those men
here with us tonight.

321
00:13:13,488 --> 00:13:16,056
Please welcome to
the Griffith Observatory

322
00:13:16,099 --> 00:13:18,101
astronaut Howard Joel Wolowitz.

323
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:23,846
Kak horosho.

324
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,982
What is she ta...Don't ask.

325
00:13:29,025 --> 00:13:31,985
Thank you, Raj, that was
a really nice introduction.

326
00:13:32,028 --> 00:13:33,377
Well, it's from my heart.

327
00:13:33,421 --> 00:13:37,251
So, Howard, you are
in an elite group.

328
00:13:37,294 --> 00:13:40,645
Only 232 people
have ever been on

329
00:13:40,689 --> 00:13:42,996
the International Space
Station. How does that

330
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:44,519
make you feel?

331
00:13:44,562 --> 00:13:47,174
Honestly, lucky.

332
00:13:47,217 --> 00:13:49,263
Most astronauts have to
train their whole lives.

333
00:13:49,306 --> 00:13:52,222
I was just in the right
place at the right time.

334
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:54,703
Oh, please, luck had
nothing to do with it.

335
00:13:54,746 --> 00:13:57,097
You people need to know
how impressive

336
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:59,142
this man is.
He was up there

337
00:13:59,186 --> 00:14:01,841
because he's the
only one qualified

338
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:04,365
to install a piece of
equipment that he designed.

339
00:14:04,408 --> 00:14:06,671
Thanks, but if you want
to talk impressive,

340
00:14:06,715 --> 00:14:08,630
this guy right here
discovered a planetary object

341
00:14:08,673 --> 00:14:10,023
outside the
Kuiper belt.

342
00:14:10,066 --> 00:14:11,763
He worked on
the Mars rover.

343
00:14:11,807 --> 00:14:13,722
He helped launch the
New Horizons space probe.

344
00:14:13,765 --> 00:14:17,421
He went to space
on a Russian rocket.

345
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:19,728
And I was scared
the whole time.

346
00:14:19,771 --> 00:14:23,645
And I was scared for you,
but also proud.

347
00:14:23,688 --> 00:14:27,388
Wow.

348
00:14:27,431 --> 00:14:29,564
I don't think you've ever
said that to me before.

349
00:14:29,607 --> 00:14:31,435
I should have,

350
00:14:31,479 --> 00:14:33,960
and I'm gonna
say it again.

351
00:14:34,003 --> 00:14:35,483
I'm proud of you.

352
00:14:35,526 --> 00:14:38,181
You're my best friend,
and I love you.

353
00:14:38,225 --> 00:14:41,619
Aw, Raj,
I love you, too.

354
00:14:41,663 --> 00:14:45,145
What is happening?

355
00:14:45,188 --> 00:14:49,497
Bring it in, spaceman,
you've been cleared for landing.

356
00:14:52,979 --> 00:14:55,764
Can you believe these two...
Are you crying?
[crying]

357
00:15:08,168 --> 00:15:10,605
Hello, Sheldon.

358
00:15:10,648 --> 00:15:12,259
Hello, Arthur.

359
00:15:12,302 --> 00:15:13,956
Now, I'm confused, usually when
you appear to me in my dreams,

360
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,697
we're on the planet Dagobah.

361
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:17,481
This is Dagobah.

362
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:24,401
I didn't know that Dagobah
had delicatessens.

363
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:26,795
Not good ones.

364
00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:29,754
Whatever you do,

365
00:15:29,798 --> 00:15:32,801
don't order the Reuben.

366
00:15:32,844 --> 00:15:36,065
I'm having a problem
in my marriage.

367
00:15:36,109 --> 00:15:39,677
I've upset my wife and I don't
know how to make it right.

368
00:15:39,721 --> 00:15:43,464
[chuckles] And you're... and
you're coming to me for advice?

369
00:15:43,507 --> 00:15:47,859
I-I upset my wife every time
I woke up in the morning.

370
00:15:47,903 --> 00:15:50,645
I'm not coming to you,

371
00:15:50,688 --> 00:15:53,169
you're just a manifestation
of my subconscious.

372
00:15:53,213 --> 00:15:54,866
I mean,
I'm actually coming to me.

373
00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:58,392
So you know everything
I'm going to say.

374
00:15:58,435 --> 00:15:59,959
Yes, but it sounds
wiser from you

375
00:16:00,002 --> 00:16:02,309
because you're old and glowing.

376
00:16:02,352 --> 00:16:03,440
Fine.

377
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:05,834
Rule number one
in a marriage:

378
00:16:05,877 --> 00:16:07,662
don't go to bed angry.

379
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:10,317
That makes sense.

380
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,059
Rule number two in a marriage:

381
00:16:13,102 --> 00:16:16,540
if you don't recognize
the shoes under your bed,

382
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:18,847
they're not your shoes.

383
00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:22,459
Because they're her shoes?

384
00:16:22,503 --> 00:16:24,505
[sighs] N-Never mind,

385
00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:27,551
just-just go with
rule number one.

386
00:16:27,595 --> 00:16:29,901
Thank you, Arthur.

387
00:16:29,945 --> 00:16:32,687
Uh, before you go,
can I ask you a question?

388
00:16:32,730 --> 00:16:33,862
Of course.

389
00:16:33,905 --> 00:16:36,778
Does this look lean to you?

390
00:16:37,866 --> 00:16:40,651
I ordered lean.

391
00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:44,003
Amy. Wake up. Amy.

392
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:45,395
What? What's wrong?

393
00:16:45,439 --> 00:16:47,223
We can't go to sleep
angry with each other.

394
00:16:47,267 --> 00:16:48,311
Why not?

395
00:16:48,355 --> 00:16:50,052
It's rule number one.

396
00:16:50,096 --> 00:16:52,315
I'd tell you rule number two,
but it's confusing.

397
00:16:52,359 --> 00:16:54,578
Sheldon,
go to sleep.

398
00:16:54,622 --> 00:16:58,713
Amy. Amy. Amy.

399
00:16:58,756 --> 00:17:01,542
You cut that out!

400
00:17:01,585 --> 00:17:03,413
Oh, good, you're up.

401
00:17:03,457 --> 00:17:05,981
Sheldon...

402
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:08,244
I just really don't want to talk
to you about this right now.

403
00:17:08,288 --> 00:17:09,245
That's fine.

404
00:17:09,289 --> 00:17:10,551
I just need
you to know

405
00:17:10,594 --> 00:17:12,553
that I feel terrible
about what I did

406
00:17:12,596 --> 00:17:14,424
and I wasn't
being malicious.

407
00:17:14,468 --> 00:17:16,731
No, you were being selfish.

408
00:17:16,774 --> 00:17:18,124
You're being selfish right now

409
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:20,256
'cause it's really late
and I just want to sleep.

410
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:22,432
No, Professor Proton
came to me in my dream

411
00:17:22,476 --> 00:17:24,217
and said we can't
go to sleep angry.

412
00:17:24,260 --> 00:17:25,914
Are you sure
that's what he said?

413
00:17:25,957 --> 00:17:26,958
Close your eyes,
double-check.

414
00:17:27,002 --> 00:17:31,702
Amy, this is
important.

415
00:17:31,746 --> 00:17:36,185
Okay, listen to me.

416
00:17:36,229 --> 00:17:40,059
I love working with you,

417
00:17:40,102 --> 00:17:42,974
but you have to understand
how scary this is for me.

418
00:17:43,018 --> 00:17:44,846
Why?

419
00:17:44,889 --> 00:17:49,459
Because I don't want to get lost
in this relationship.

420
00:17:49,503 --> 00:17:51,679
And when you pulled me
off my project,

421
00:17:51,722 --> 00:17:54,377
it seemed like my biggest
fear was coming true,

422
00:17:54,421 --> 00:17:57,641
the-the things that are mine
are getting subsumed

423
00:17:57,685 --> 00:17:59,687
into the things
that are ours.

424
00:17:59,730 --> 00:18:02,342
I wouldn't want that
to happen, either.

425
00:18:02,385 --> 00:18:04,909
Thank you for explaining

426
00:18:04,953 --> 00:18:06,389
and for using
the word "subsume,"

427
00:18:06,433 --> 00:18:07,825
that's one you
don't hear enough.

428
00:18:07,869 --> 00:18:11,307
You're welcome.

429
00:18:11,351 --> 00:18:13,092
Good night.
Good night.

430
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:19,402
What are you
doing now?

431
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:21,491
Looking for shoes.

432
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:23,145
Why?

433
00:18:23,189 --> 00:18:25,104
When your favorite ghost tells
you to do something, you do it.
